A shrill "bzzzZZZZ" coming closer to your ears, wings spinning zigzag around you and you can't catch them then OUCH! Too late. It itches ! And then even if we are told "do not scratch", we continue! So, rather than putting on mittens, we counter-attack and launch a warrior cry:"Mosquito, this year, you won't kill me!" »
You are ready ? Here are the 3 tricks that (really) work.
Strategy 1:Don't open your doors to traitors (yes, only females bite). When you get home and want to turn on the lights, close the shutters FIRST! Like that, they will bump their noses against the window (Ha! Ha!). And if you want to leave everything open (we won't be bothered by them, either!), we opt for a door or window mosquito net. It's practical and formidable.

Strategy 2:adopt a royal bed. You want to steal us in our sleep? Madame, you are a coward! But you can try all you want tonight, even if we sleep with the window wide open. Because we have adorned our queen bed with a magnificent mosquito net!

Strategy 3. The pschit pschit of death. On the insecticide side, we are adorned with bombs (aerosols), electric diffusers and spirals to burn (in addition we love the smell). On the repellent side, that of Mosquito Guard is particularly effective. It comes in skin/clothing spray and cream.

We'll let it go. Not only will we save money but above all we will REALLY avoid getting bitten. This is what UFC-Que Choisir says, with supporting tests. "Ultrasounds don't work, whether it's a plug-in or a portable device, neither do essential oils." The citronella bracelet does not prevent stings, neither does the geranium essential oil and the citronella candle. »
El plants, geraniums,…? "They will never stop blood-starved females from biting," continues the association.
Ok. So, to your bombs (but not too many) and your mosquito nets!
